The new rowing machine in use at Cornell, says the Sun, is on the hydraulic principle, but has but one cylinder for all four men instead of one cylinder for each of four men, as is usual on hydraulic rowing machines. The two bow men pull on one yoke, and the two stern men on another. These yokes are pivoted on a cross head to the piston. By this arrangement the two bow men and the two stern men must pull exactly alike. It can be seen whether they take the stroke at the same time and pull alike.
